Solution
The correct option is A Mons pubis, labia majora, clitoris
The female reproductive system is located in the pelvic region and comprises a pair of ovaries, external genitalia and accessory duct and accessory ducts.
Ovaries are the primary sex organs that produce female gametes (ovum).
Accessory ducts of the reproductive system of the human female include the fallopian tube (oviduct), uterus and vagina. Oviducts are a pair of long, ciliated, muscular, tubular structures extending from each ovary to the uterus, which conducts zygote or ovum to the uterus.
The uterus is a hollow muscular pear-shaped organ in the pelvic region serves as the site of fetal growth during pregnancy. The uterus is divisible into three parts- fundus (upper part), body or cavity (middle part) and cervix (the long and narrow part of the uterus). The cervix opens into the vagina. The cervix along with the vagina forms the birth canal.
Female external genitalia include the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, hymen and clitoris.
Mons pubis: Cushion of fatty tissue on the top of the vulva, which contains pubic hair.
Labia majora and Labia minora are the paired flashy folds. Labia majora extending from the mons pubis surrounding the vaginal opening and labia minora lies inside the labia majora forming the boundary of the vestibule. The hymen is a membranous covering, partially covering the vaginal opening. The clitoris is homologous to the male penis, lying at the upper junction of the labia minora. It is an erectile organ with numerous nerve supplies which makes it very sensitive.
